Fair enough. I questioned it being original myself but was told it was from the seller. Her daddy bought it new. I question the road rash on the car. I walked up front(fog light area) and I see enough rock chips to equal 94 K miles. I looked behind the tires and there was some but not a lot. I noticed the trim around the fenders had been changed. Then I look through the receipts and see where daddy had mud flaps put on the car at the dealership. Yes, I said it mud flaps! Other than on the doors and rear quarters I honestly can't tell where it has been touched up. I couldn't see the touched-up areas in pictures prior to me seeing the car and still can't in those pictures. I took pictures myself yesterday and I can't see it in those either. The owner claimed she didn't know it had been touched up, but I can clearly see it. I showed her right before I passed on the car the first time. I don't see any touch ups in the cowl area on the orange. If it was then whoever done it should have redone the doors. Now the black might have been repainted when the engine was pulled. Sorry If I mislead you with my 90% factory paint. I'm still not convinced it's not factory paint though. I know its lacquer paint for sure. If it was repainted, then it was done prior to 1984 for sure. In fact, it had to be touched up prior to 1984 so it was painted prior to that if it was. Just don't make sense to me. Too many small dings here and there from years of use. Then again some of those dings could have happened during storage. Car was parked in storage in 1984.
Here is the original tag. She cleaned up pretty good.
